Moving Companies

Full Service Moving

With a traditional full service moving company, all of your boxes are taken from your old place and unloaded to the corresponding rooms at your new pad. The movers should baby your things, protecting furniture and mirrors with pads. You can even have movers box and unbox your things for you. As you might expect, this is the highest cost option for moving your stuff.

Some of the companies offering full service moving include United Van Lines, Mayflower and ABF.

Self-Service Moves

A lower cost option for moving is called self service. It basically puts all of the unloading and offloading of the items in your hands. The company simply does the driving. At one time, companies simply brought a truck to their customers to load. Now, moving companies can deliver containters, crates or trailers for you to load over a longer period of time. You'll also have more time to unload

Many of the same companies that once specialized in full service moving now offer self service moves as well.
